Manual Meter Read Charge
The Town of Hanna began a program in 2013 to modify or replace water meters
for Automated Meter Readings to allow meters to be read remotely. The water
meters are fitted with an Encoder Receiver Transmitter (ERT). This eliminates the
need for meter readers to enter customers' property, reduces costs and identifies
potential theft or loss of water.

For properties where the Town has not been provided access by the customer to
install the ERT on the water meter, there will be a fee to have the meter read
manually.
